tag

The tag keyword allow rules to log more than just the single packet that triggered the rule. Once a rule is triggered, additional traffic involving the source and/or destination host is tagged. Tagged traffic is logged to allow analysis of response codes and post-attack traffic. tagged alerts will be sent to the same output plugins as the original alert, but it is the responsibility of the output plugin to properly handle these special alerts. Currently, the database output plugin, described in Section [*], does not properly handle tagged alerts.
